The Art and Making of Aquaman
B**Y
This art book makes a splash!
The book begins with a foreword by Jason Momoa and an introduction by James Wan. The actors and those people involved in the production process discuss the making of the film and the book is full of concept art of locations, creatures and vessels. The characters from the film are given a few pages each although I would have preferred more costume art. The art book for Justice League has more costume art in it. There are lots of double-page paintings and a few fold-out pages, and some art from Geoff Johns' Aquaman run is included. For fans of the film and collectors of art books this book is essential.

Nice, but could be better
This is a nice book with nice artwork, going through the film from character and scene to the films completion. My only dissapointment is that it doesn't show many images or concepts of the varying outfits, scenes or monsters. It feels limited and incomplete when compared with other similiar 'art of'/'making of' books. The end monster - The 'Karathen', is the biggest dissapointment in the book, with only 1 part image from the film and NO concepts. It is spread over 1 double page, when other characters/locations are given 8 pages, it could be easily missed and seems like a lesser important part of the movie, squeezed in near the end of the book and being overlooked for other images from the Aquaman comics instead.I personally feel that it needs an additional book or to be thicker, for all the artwork missed, left out or just incomplete, but otherwise, a nice book....if you know what to expect.

Visual feast
Great book and fantastic movie. This is mainly a book of concept art, giving some interesting insights into the thinking and development behind the visuals in the movie. All the memorable scenes are covered and expanded upon. From the looks of it, the movie largely stuck to the developmental ideas, so there’s no great ‘what could have been’ type artwork in this book (unless they just decided to not include it). But, with interviews with the cast and crew, this is a great visual reference guide to a memorable and successfully executed adventure tale.

"..BRILLIANT BOOK.."
A Q U A M A N is probably the most awesome comic book movie of 2018 putting DC back on top once more, this book is stunning and is a must if your a fan of the movie, 180 colour pages of beautiful art and plenty info about the movie and making of and comic origins, and plenty photos of the stars etc, the book is very well presented with a hard cover too with a wrap around sleeve on the hard cover, highly recommended for fans of the movie.

Great book
Great book. I will take it to London Film & comic con in July to get it signed by the actor who played Aquaman (Jason Mamoa). I can't wait to see him in person and have my photo taken with him.
